I do have to say that /media/video is a mounted xfs partition on the pc, but I don't think that should matter. I don't think the difference in architecture should matter either. My forum and internet searches don't find anything that helps._________________Greg

I'll have to double check the kernel config, but I would assume that I enabled it because I need it for my intended purpose for the machines. I plan to use them to convert video that will be on the PC. If all else fails, I do have a spare hard drive on one of the RS6000's. I could set the network file system on it instead.

Is it possible to set up nfs support as a module? Could having an old kernel (2.6.16) create problems?_________________Greg

I encountered this same error message today, however the system had been up for 6 months, and already had an NFS file system mounted (nfs v2 from OSX Server 10.4). I also didn't have NFSv3 support, but I should have had NFSv2 support. Did some user-land update remove NFSv2 support from the support packages, like portmap/nfs-utils?

I ran into an update for baselayout-1.12.10-r5 yesterday. It included an update for /etc/init.d/netmount. If you were using netmount to mount your nfs shares, that might have caused an issue. While running etc-update, I noticed it and it is quite heavily commented and had checks for portmap/nfs stuff. You may want to check there.
